Chapter 333 - 332, Mouse Beast_1
He looked at Xiu Yan incredulously, "I’m a Snake Orc."
Xiu Yan nodded solemnly, "I know, that’s why I’m asking you to go. Aren’t rats food for snakes?"
Ya Li: ...(I’m an Orc, not a pure beast. You want me to eat the Mouse Beast? Why don’t you go to heaven?)
Seeing that Ya Li was still hesitant, Xiu Yan kicked him into the hole, "Hurry up, they’ll run away soon."
Against his will, Ya Li had no choice but to change into beast form, shrink his body, and crawl into the hole.
"Brother Xiu Yan, Ya Li is alone, will he be okay?" Ji Nuan voiced her concern.
Xiu Yan held Ji Nuan’s small tender hand with his long fingers, confidence in Ya Li filled his eyes, "Don’t worry, he can handle it."
Leaning close to her ear, his warm breath tickled her earlobe, causing Ji Nuan to shrink her neck. But then she heard Xiu Yan whisper, "We’ve agreed that if anything happens, we’ll run away."
Ji Nuan instantly smiled, the two orcs sure cared about their dignity. Did they tell her this plan separately because they were afraid the others would mock them if they knew about the escape plan?
"Chirp! Chirp chirp~" Suddenly, the small animal in her arms made a flurry of anxious noises.
While Ji Nuan was not paying attention, it jumped out from her arms, hopped around at her feet, and continuously clawed at the ground below.
Ji Nuan was somewhat perplexed at the series of actions from the little fellow.
She bent over and reached out to the little thing, "Did you forget about the ground collapsing earlier? Come back."
Standing behind Ji Nuan, Xiu Yan’s face suddenly changed. He reached out with his long arm and pulled Ji Nuan into his arms, grabbed the little furball still scratching the ground, and quickly jumped back several steps.
At the same time, the ground where they had just stood burst open, and a creature with a pointed head and brown-black fur appeared in everyone’s sight, but in a flying pose.
"Damn, you sure can run. Running laps around this place." The sound of Ya Li cursing arose.
Ji Nuan took the little furball back from Xiu Yan’s hand and held it tightly. Then she looked at the Mole Rat Beast that had been subdued by the other orcs not too far away.
Wow, this rat is huge. (Hey, evil spirit, where will you flee~)
Ji Nuan turned her head to look at the spot where she had just stood to find Ya Li, who had just shot out from there in beast form, cursing as he turned back into an orc, "This guy was hiding down there and didn’t leave."
Xiu Yan put Ji Nuan down and walked over to the Rat Orc, "Who sent you? Mo Na or Mo Peisi?"
The orc looked up at Xiu Yan, then immediately lowered his head again, remaining silent.
A smirk appeared on the corner of Xiu Yan’s mouth, "Don’t want to talk?"
He glanced around, walked over and lifted Ji Nuan into his arms, and said, "Let’s leave. Everyone, let’s go rest by the river for a while."
Puzzled, Ji Nuan looked up at Xiu Yan, unaware of why the orc had suddenly changed the subject. She could only obediently curl up in his arms, blinking up at him.
Xiu Yan smiled and said, "You’ll understand soon."
Muttering to himself, Ya Li said, "That wolf is definitely up to something."
He received a icy stare from Xiu Yan, and quickly turned his attention to Mo Qi, "Oh my, this weather is killing all of us, even the snakes can’t bear it."
